Variable Data Printing

Let's say you have branch locations across the state and you need one poster print for each branch, customized to include the photograph and name of the branch manager.  Now it is easy with Variable Data Printing.  You provide the basic layout and an Excel spreadsheet with the image file name matched to the manager's name and we do the rest.   Ideal for small direct mail pieces, product sheets and sales samples.  The process saves you an enormous amount of time in layout and yet gives you a high quality photographic print.  Also works for large format inkjet.  Contact us for more information and samples.

Retractable Displays  

Many times you need an inexpensive, easy to produce, easy to carry, rugged banner.  Here is an idea that will work for you.  A 31½" wide x 84" tall full color banner in a retractable stand can be produced for under $250.00.  The banner and stand weigh less than 10 pounds and can be set up in under 2 minutes.  Put two or three together for a portable backdrop.  You lay out the graphics and we do the rest.  Overlamination is recommended but optional.  Other sizes are available. Complete with carrying case.  To see a sample or get more information, click here. (Banner used by permission . © EPE, Reg. U.S. Pat. & Tm. Off)

Project Ideas: Custom Wall Décor

Every organization has a story to tell, a mission to communicate, values to convey. You can do that using custom-designed wall décor.  Youth Villages of Memphis recently moved into their new operations center and wanted visitors to quickly see who they are and the children and families they serve.  The walls in the operations center are covered with pictures of the families and children that they work with.  They chose canvas Giclée prints with gallery-wrapped edges.  Giclée prints are made by spraying microscopic dots of ink onto fine quality paper or canvas. On paper, the inks are actually absorbed slightly and blend to create fine art. On canvas, the process yields prints of stunning vibrancy and realism.  And, by wrapping the edges of the prints, we eliminated the need for framing, which gave the displays a clean, modern feel and also reduced the total project cost. The prints were so well received by visitors that Youth Villages has since outfitted its Nashville regional office with similar photographs using the same treatment. We were honored to work with Youth Villages throughout this project to give them a completely customized look.  Contact us for ideas at your office.  Also, take a look at some of the projects that we have done recently-maybe they will spark an idea.

It All Begins With An Idea

Tell us your needs and let us give you ideas or we can take your ideas and develop a product strategy around them.  Ideas come first, not products.  We can be of most value to you when we get involved in the beginning and can then provide complete solutions for your needs.  We want to make your life easier by handling your complete project rather than you having to call several suppliers.  We have been in business for 50 years and have the experience and facilities to serve you.  See our list of services.  So, please contact us.
